Thank you for joining us for this week's message! In today's Bible passage, Moses is tending his father-in-law's sheep in the desert after running away in fear from Egypt. While in the desert, God grabs Moses' attention in a bush that was burning but not burning up. In the resulting conversation with Moses, God tells Moses he will lead Abraham's descendants from slavery in Egypt into a land that God promised. A key verse in this story is Exodus 33:15, where Moses pleads with God, "If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here."
Horizon West Church is approaching a similar challenge regarding a plan to build a permanent building on the property we bought last year. We, like Moses, need to commit ourselves to following God's leadership and listening for what God wants us to do. As the poet wrote in Psalm 127:1, "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."
Of much greater importance is how each of us respond when God tries to get our attention to call us to serve God. We, like Moses, need to recognize God's presence, trust in God's promise, and follow God's plan.
If you prayed to make Jesus your Lord today, we want to rejoice with you! If you would want someone to pray with you, we are eager to do so! If you would like more information about our church, we're want to share. Please text the word "NEXT" to 407-77 so we can engage with you.
